spoke with garage in depth and they give glowing report on the engine etc and have done several mods including Mark adams re map and produced 400bhp at wheels.. no issues apparantly but have also have to think of the real value due to the lack of service book, as my fun head says go for it but the mature head says ????? hold on wish I was a care free 25yr old again lol.. still thinking

400bhp at the wheels??? Impossible, it would take the new 4.5 to schieve that. Don't trust it.
